Beginning December 21, Alex Caruso is eligible for a contract extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder, which may total up to $80 million over four years.
Given that Alex Caruso is eligible for a contract extension beginning on December 21, precisely six months after the Oklahoma City Thunder acquired him from the Chicago Bulls in exchange for Josh Giddey, his future with the team may be decided soon.
Bleacher Report’s Jake Fischer claims that for the time being, this extension is probably the only significant change Oklahoma intends to make.
“I don’t expect there to be much more in OKC for the time being right now aside from this impending Alex Caruso extension that the league is definitely still expecting and bracing for coming out of the Thunder,” Fischer said.
The deal may be worth up to $80 million over four years if Caruso signs.
He will become a free agent in 2025, though, allowing other teams to try to sign him if the two parties are unable to come to an agreement.
The 30-year-old guard has averaged 4.2 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game thus far this season.
